Just Sittin'

My second to last flight during my TLC experience and I have encountered my first CANCELLED flight. Although I had to wake up before the sun rose to rush to the airport to get here on time, I spent my 7 hours of "Freetime" exploring the DFW airport. OH, and I got rebooked on a DIRECT flight so thanks rainstorm! 
Can't hate getting my 12,000 steps for the day before 2:00 in the afternoon. 
During my laps around this zoo of cowboys and angry pedestrians, I could not help but LAUGH at all of the Texas inspired souvenirs and shops around the airport. I NEVER realized how Texas is just... Texas... until leaving and learning what other people think of The Lone Star State... Maybe this is why??
Could it be because this LARGE Texas-Sized Texas flag that you can't miss.
 Or not just the Marketplace, but the TEXAS Marketplace.
 Or the "Lone Star Attitude" Mootique, I mean Boutique.
 COMPLETE with longhorn headed mannequins.
Or what about the Texas Flag neck pillows, T-Shirts, etc etc... Love this place.

As I continued to walk around I saw SO MANY new "things to do" that I have never encountered in an airport before. 
Like this LABYRINTH that SINGS when you walk by it
 And this Arcade-Style CPR game? 
This fun Cave-Lookin Tunnel
 This Eye-Candy, Candy Shop... SMART marketing PPL.
 A Victoria's Secret/Pink Shop
 AND A YOGA STUDIO (more like Yoga Pad)!!
 The trip was complete with a view of a TSA personnel getting a taste of her own medicine with a nice little pat down from a co-worker. WHO DUN IT? 

This experience could be yours too with 7 hours to spare and a short 4 miles walked (tracked via Fit Bit) completely through Gates B, C and D.
